Hi there...glad you stopped by!

Come on in and join me on the couch. I’ve been looking through one of those big, coffee table books. This one’s about Italy, one of my favorite places! Look at this picture; the colors seem so different there! The very air looks different. And this one....Tuscany....it looks like an old oil painting!!!

If I had a genii in a bottle....and I rubbed him until he popped out....up....uh, whatever....and if he granted me a wish to go anywhere in the world....I would pick Italy!
Then if this genii would transport me there....on a beautiful magic carpet.....I would have him gently lower me to earth upon the soil of Tuscany!

But, Venice would be a wonderful place to be transported to also..standing on one of the humped up bridges ..watching the people!
The sexy Frenchmen...with their berets and striped jerseys....the singing gondoliers....the piazzas and side-walk cafes.....the vivid colors that sing and ripple!

Ahhh...to hope.....to wish.......per chance to dream!!!....

Oh, sorry, I went off into my own little world there for a minute.
I wrote a poem if you’d like to see it? Here:

Italy Oh Italy
Tuscany of mellow light,
The golden hue,
The brush of green.
Tuscany of blue-washed height,
The creamy stone,
The dusty road,
Tuscany....a pleasing sight!

Well, if you must go, that’s OK, but I hope you come back soon.
I’ll see you later...
